I've ridden through many acquisitions and they are always a messy disaster. Two corporate cultures collide, and the purchaser is totally clueless about how the company they just bought works, its technology, how it was grown. Then the redundancies and helm change add to the train wreck.
Twitter is not a car manufacturer. Musk and his team have zero experience with acquisitions. That's kind of obvious now.
Yes he's
asking to meet personally with S/W engineers, fly in to San Francisco and...
"Musk ordered employees to email him a summary of what their software code has "achieved" in the past six months, "along with up to 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of code."... "There will be short, technical interviews that allow me to better understand the Twitter tech stack"
Now he thinks code cuteness is proof of their abilities? The loyalty problem is the bigger one I think.
